Just when you think you know America: it renews itself

I particularly loved Obama’s shout out to Atheist in his speech, “…for we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers.”

This is what I love about America, it’s variety, it’s endless canvas, it’s 1776 model of revolutionary change that after more than 200 years is the only healthy force of revolutionary change in the world, that just when you think you know what America it renews itself … how envious can tyrants be? How hopeful can everyday people that just want to work and love their family feel that there is a homeland of all people the world. Cheers for America, democracy, and liberalism!
